Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Very good

The hotel offers good value for price. It is well located with only a few minutes walking to Kulturhaus, Mur quay, old city center and the main tram lines (1, 7) to central railway station Graz. I enjoyed the good and rich breakfast buffet. It is a good choice for short sightseeing and business trips.

Everything looks like a bit "aged". The beds in "standard room" are not very comfortable. Very small TV screen, only a few TV stations available. No possibility to regulate temperature in the room.

Excellent

I had a spacious room on the 4th floor, which offered a beautiful view of the Schloßberg and Kunsthaus. Mariahilferstrasse is center of the hippest shops and pubs, the tram-stop is nearby to reach the railwaystation and any other destination. In comparison to the other hotels in the same zone the Hotel Mariahilf has very reasonable prices.

On the ground-floor is a period bar-room. Currently it's closed, but I could take a look. The beautiful vintage furniture and very particular liberty decorations will soon be replaced with a new design. This is really a shame!

Great location. Price is very reasonable by comparison to other options. Breakfast is okay and coffee is great. Generally it is a good option if you are trying to keep costs reasonable and you want a decent room. All negatives are individually minor.

The shower in room 106 is too small for an average size human. The cleaner ripped my t-shirt and never apologised. There is an additional tax after you have already paid that is not clearly explained - it's not a lot of money (something like one euro per night) but still rather annoying. Not major but a bit noisy at night, at least on lower floors.

Location is superb! Literarily meters from the town center. Garage is close to the hotel. Reception is always staffed with friendly locals. Heating works well. Spacey room.

Extremely basic breakfast - not only is the selection of foods poor, but the staff didn't care much to refill any containers (even water!!!). Furnishing leaves a lot to be desired and feels very cheap. Whole place could be a lot cleaner.

The location is simply perfect, right next to the main tourist attractions.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They spoke a good English.
The breakfast was good.
The room was very spacious and comfortable.
The idea of not having WiFi all the time (need to put effort in getting codes every day for each device) actually helps you socialize, meet new people, leave your smartphone for a while and enjoy a more fulfilling vacation.

Absolutely everything, the young lady at reception booked us at a lovely restaurant close by for an evening meal, the room and bathroom were very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was well presented with plenty of choices fresh and hot we intend to return soon and location excellent for centre, restaurants and sights to see.
